Welcome, bloggers! We had a fantastic turnout with 191 entries last week!
Wellll... once again... before we get to last week's winners, I have to redraw one winner from Challenge No. 79. No one came forward to claim the Fresh Brewed Design prize! And again, I'm baffled! Ssoooo...This time, I hand picked one entry from 194 entries for Fresh Brewed Designs.

Please put IDCB Winner No. 79 FBD in the subject line.

It just breaks my heart to have to disqualify some linkups! But I had to disqualify some entries and this wasn't caught until after favorites were selected so I could not go in and delete before hand. Our rules are clearly listed right over there <<<<<----- So after the disqualifications which are six and one entry that linked twice totaling 7, that now brings the total number for the draw to 184. I only deleted one that had been banned before because of unfair play and so if you look at the total entries it reads 190 but there were 191 before I banned that one entry. That will be why there is a discrepancy between the entries and the number used for the draw. I hope you all can understand that.
We use Random.org to pick our winners. Our sponsors last week were Bugaboo Digi Stamps and, appearing for the first time at IDCB, The East Wind!

Congratulations!

Now for our DT Favorites! These participants were each handpicked from 191 entries (because we chose our favorites before any disqualifications or deletions)!

Team members who participated in the challenge each selected a favorite and here they are:

Billie's favorite is #53 Mindy Baxter and here's why in her own words: her card is so cute. I love the water ocean elements she used and the whale and coloring are fantastic. Really a very stunning card.

Dianne's favorite is #40 Crafty Girl and here's why in her own words: gorgeous card fabulous image and wonderful colours and design xx

Ema's favorite is #15 Amy Cohen and here's why in her own words: What fun, unexpected Halloween colors on a non-Halloween card! I just loved it! Great coloring and such a cute image! Love all the details.

Unky makes her home in British Columbia, Canada with her wonderful daughter, Aurora, the love of her life and source of much inspiration. She has been creating art since she was a child always allowing it to reflect her interests, humour and love of all that is quirky. Her unique images run the gamut from the darkly humourous and sometimes creepy through the world of fashion-forward Lucy Loo to the sweet Aurora and Baby Aurora where life and people are good and beautiful. There are images to suit every taste, occasion, or whim at The East Wind.
